> This optimization is only possible for store-based systems since the set of shared libraries is fixed and immutable. In a traditional Linux distribution, each shared library could be updated at any time, which would invalidate the cached symbol resolutions and their offsets.

Yes and no.

The optimisation of having a cache could be implemented on more traditional linux systems. You would just need to check the modification time of all the shared libraries hasn't changed before using the cache. Alternatively, the job could be given to the package manager, make it invalidate and regenerate the cache for any binaries that that use and shared libraries that have been updated.

What a store-based system does is make it so much simpler to implement such optimisations, because you simply don't need to worry about various invalidation based edge cases.
An IP address in itself is not an identity, but it can be easily resolved to one. This is why IP address are considered PII, and are handled like such by any competent security organization.
Saw the title, jumped to the diagrams, and thought I knew where this was going, but I was way off. I made the exact opposite conclusion from a quick glance at the diagram - that debt gives you more freedom. It allows you to go in the red. That a safe, debt-free life leads to less volatility and therefore less ups. Then I read the article, and couldn't hold both opposing ideas in my head.
you can be required to keep logs - they need to design a system that cannot collect logs - You cannot share what you cannot have.
Yeah, it's wild. The guy who fixed my garage door recently told me he sold his small time, but well rated garage door repair company to a PE firm. They also bought all his rivals. I had gotten a few quotes and everyone wanted to do a full replacement for several thousand, insisting it was all junk. He fixed it in 20 minutes for $80 and was firm that everything was absolutely in great shape except for the small problem he fixed.

The back end of all these companies is the same, some call center/scheduler that manages everything very cheap. They run the purchased companies as fronts and jack the prices and push for big replacement/upgrades until reviews dip. Then they dissolve the company into a generic regional company and sell that to a national like servicepro.
Australia has a feral cat problem and lots of studies on how they decimate animal populations, including birds. https://www.publish.csiro.au/WR/fulltext/WR19174 for example, which cites lots of previous studies as well.

"Introduced cats have had profound impacts on native faunas in many places, contributing to 26% of the total extinctions of mammals, birds and reptiles globally since 1600 (Doherty et al. 2016). The impacts of cats on native faunas have been greatest on islands, including large island nations such as Australia and New Zealand whose fauna evolved without exposure to felids"
Requiring a degree or certification (at a legal leval) is a form of regulation. That it's costly and time consuming just makes that regulation a larger barrier. If you can somehow remove much of those people that already have the means to satisfy that regulation from the market, you've successfully controlled the supply for at least the amount of time it takes the pipeline to produce more of them.

Now I'm wondering if the VC firms took steps to disrupt that pipeline as well in some way. That would be pretty overt, but I've never gotten the impression that these people feel the need to be at all subtle.
I mean it's clear, the governments of the world are colluding to ensure that all companies and users must incriminate themselves by collecting logs. They're trying to do the same with cryptography.
You can partition your BigQuery table however you like and Fivetran will leave it in place. I don’t think there’s any benefit to partitioning the staging table.

Private equity per se isn't a problem. Business owners have to be able to sell their equity, and PE firms provide a source of liquidity. Most deals work out well for the seller; it's not just the GPs who benefit.

In cases where PE portfolio companies fail it's usually because the business was no longer viable, or they shifted the capital structure too much away from equity and towards debt. The former is just a regular part of the business cycle. I can't imagine how you would reign in the latter. Companies are allowed to issue bonds.
Well, that gets at what’s happening here. Paying $1100 regularly, to the point that it’s subscribing to that recurring service or not owning a dog, is way too tempting. There is a new captive market of pet owners who, through breed selection, diet, and/or aesthetic priorities have a much costlier relationship with their vet. An industry that used to struggle to bring in pet owners outside of emergencies has a lot more to offer equity than a younger doctor could afford. Because those trends (capital and changing relationships with pets) are hot, a practice owner is not going to give someone time to earn their ownership of the practice.

> keeping me from buying a car that I need.

The older tesla cars had better controls. The software updates made things worse. The targets became SO small, for no reason. I think the developers must have written and tested the UI on a display firmly mounted on a desk or non-moving car. In a moving car, everything goes to hell.

The newer cars with no stalks (shifter, turn signals, wipers, lights) are just a mess. The display has nowhere to rest your hand, you must stab and hit the correct small target from your seat. They all make you a worse driver, through indirection, confusion, inaccuracy or distraction.
Any e-commerce email showing you pictures of what you bought. People tend to find this convenient.
Semi related this really shows why we need local and regional news.

Seattle Times is close to Boeing and the reporting demonstrates the value of those relationships and knowledge. Whereas The New York Times doesn’t have to be boots on the ground, neither does Washington Post.
While I am not opposed to creating something that could be a competitor I wanted to learn how k8s worked. I suspect I would be hesitant to create the specs though.
It’s just a numbers thing. Applying emotion and trust (in your words) to a numerical financial decision is naive at best. I would try to change your mind with numbers and facts, but I can tell it would fall on deaf ears/eyes.
It's misleading. The issue was with the ULA launch.
Absolutely, I just think "when adhering to this convention" is a high risk. Admittedly I mostly work on macOS so I don't have a nearly as deep of an experience with ELF, but in my experience even when a system looks to be well maintained that you often find surprising numbers of projects being "clever" and breaking conventions as soon as you try to do something that depends on everyone actually globally following the convention.
Maybe. After the inevitable judge shopping (I'd predict northern Texas; https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/01/politics/judge-shopping-north...) leading to a national injunction goes up to SCOTUS, we'll see.
I do understand what you’re saying, I just think it’s a problem that’s at least self-limiting. A million dollars is not a lot to start a business of that scale. You can’t open a steakhouse in any mid-sized city for that much, and vet clinics actually make money. You don’t see PE firms buying up restaurants.

If PE firms are buying them the ROI is clearly very good. If vets are really fretting, I’m sure a bunch of highly educated, high salary people in a very lucrative field can drum up a million bucks.
It's about content, not deliverability. It looks like it's intended to test whether A can email B, which would be useful. But no.
>My brother was a veterinarian who bought an existing clinic in 2008. As I recall it was close to a million dollars before the cost of the building.

Are you saying he bought the building/assets of a defunct vet practice or that he bought an operating veterinary clinic?

This isn't news. Well, the Instagram part is.

Juul paid schools to have sessions where vaping was described as safe.

Ad agencies got campaign briefs describing the target segment as 13-17 year olds.

Most of this has already come out, in courts.
That I believe. They certainly won’t all do it, but it only takes one vet who is good at business and a few more who are good at animal care to make a great clinic.
Let's say I buy Mullvad access with a credit card, then access my otherwise-unrelated Proton Mail account via Mullvad.

Some first impression UI feedback:

Don't overlap existing boxes when exploring new definition. Instead find the lowest free space in the column (or insert it at appropriate level)

When adding a reference to rather than exploring definition, default to adding box to the opposite side (left)
> You still do not get the runtime speed ups unless you change the dynamic linker behavior to use the version string as the search path, which would require ecosystem wide changes.

Each ELF library declares the symbol versions it provides. The dynamic linker could track which library declares which versions, and cross reference that when it looks symbols up. I though it did, but from empirical testing, it doesn't. But if it did, it would get similar speed improvements, assuming all libraries provide at least one version each (and of course, assuming no overlaps).
If emails could be marked up with the subset of HTML that Markdown is able to generate without having inlined HTML tags, email markup would be so pleasant. Just bold/italics, some headings, tables, properly flowing text, code blocks, horizontal rule, links, and images.
You don't even need a ctypes import for it, you'll get a segfault from this:

cpython is not memory safe.

IE for Mac was atrocious. Woz has some interesting thoughts about it in his book iWoz.
On caffeine I am very skittish, cannot take naps and sleep quality suffers which affects my memory and optimism.
So let’s say I want to book an outpatient surgical procedure. I know my surgeon is in network and the facility I visit for the procedure is in network. However there are always other services required that you may not be aware of - anesthesiologists are the most common. This is a very common occurrence which I have encountered (thanks for calling me a liar).

See for example https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/ho49d5/ane... - first hit of many for “anesthesiologist out of network”

Especially if you have an emergency surgery it’s not like you’re picking your anesthesiologist from an approved list before entering the OR, even if you took the time to make sure the hospital you visited is in network.

Finally look at the fine print for your insurance company’s website. You’ll see multiple disclaimers noting that the information may not be accurate - for example from blue cross blue shield:

> Blue Cross and Blue Shield Licensees have made reasonable efforts to ensure that the list of providers displayed is up to date and accurate. Please call the provider before making an appointment to verify that the provider continues to be part of the network.

Then when you call the provider to confirm, they shunt you back to your insurance provider. It’s hilarious if it didn’t have significant financial consequences.

I think your contributions on this have been useful and valuable.

Parent keeps harping about Hamas coming to power in 2006 and that that is when the blockades started and that people should "figure out why those dates align", steadfastly refusing to acknowledge that the airport had been bombed in 1999 and runways dug up in 2001.

Oh, and any claim about Hamas being supported by Israel is apparently anti-semitic.

"Need to" and "will" are entirely different things. Russia didn't need to invade Ukraine at all, but it stupidly did. No one needs to do hard drugs like heroin, but they do.

Most likely, the US will run this experiment by electing Trump in November. Everything is pointing to this happening and this year being largely an echo of the 2016 election. The Trump supporters still love him, he's doing great in the primaries, and the Dems are running a very unpopular candidate (again), and have fractured their support because of the Israel/Gaza war and Biden's unquestioning support of Israel which has greatly angered the younger voters. Most likely, they're going to stay home on election day, or vote for the Green party or something (again, just like so many people did in 2016--look at the number of votes the Greens and Libertarians got that year and how that would have changed the results), resulting in a Trump win.
Oh, array striding.

This is a classic bikeshedding issue. When Go and Rust were first being designed, I brought up support for multidimensional arrays. For both cases, that became lost in discussions over what features arrays should have. Subarrays, like slices but multidimensional? That's the main use case for striding. Flattening in more than one dimension? And some people want sparse arrays. Stuff like that. So the problem gets pushed off onto collection classes, there's no standard, and everybody using such arrays spends time doing format conversion. This is why FORTRAN and Matlab still have strong positions in number-crunching.

You're being a revisionist. The claim that it wasn't popular is just dumb. For years it was simply superior to all other browsers (both technologically and users liking it).
This is bad logic, and so is your comment upthread, IMHO.
What exactly to do to benefit from the technology benefits of GrapheneOS, but protect the actual users, is still an open question.

Almost a year a go the lead developer of GrapheneOS, Daniel Micay, publicly admitted that he was experiencing mental health issues and announced he would step down from the project. As displayed by Micay's behavior, just in the last few days even, he is still dealing with those issues. Micay will jump to cry he is being "harassed" and melt down when he meets just the slightest amount of resistance in a discussion that hasn't deviated from technology. He will even do this simply due to the format or style one chooses to reply with, irrespective of content.

Today, we can see that Micay deleted off of GitHub his announcement that he stepped down, probably when he thought not a lot of people were looking. As evidenced by the writing style and choice of words on the project's social accounts, Micay is operating those social media accounts. The recent Git commit history shows he's active in the project again.

Micay does do great technical work. However he is very quick to jump to accuse others of "harassment" and "misinformation", dividing development efforts and excluding others from projects in what looks like an attempt to control others and reduce competition in the space.

As Louis Rossman pointed out, Micay bullies other people, some would even call it "harassment", then tries to hide it behind an excuse the he suffers some form of autism.

I bet the reason is that it's hard to become a vet and labor mobility is limited. We need to make it impossible for the government to regulate many things (not "remove regulation", but make it physically impossible in the future even if they wanted to). Maybe airlines need to step in to facilitate travel from many places to intentionally created hubs for certain kinds of cervices and Canada and Mexico: if someone can take a $400 ticket to a "city of dentists" or "city of vets" offshore where there are thousands of practices and fix their teeth for 5% of US price, there won't be a market for this kind of price gouging.

Or in fact, make it actual offshore. On converted container ships outside the territorial waters. Where regulation just does not apply.
I remember hearing stats about the continued high numbers for IE, but a lot of those numbers were attributed to pirated copies of XP being used in China. Maybe it was why IE6 seemed to hang around as high as it was. Just a clarification of the numbers that I found interesting.
How is it misleading? The mission was crewed Starliner and it was scrubbed. ULA wasn't mentioned.

Yeah now they just have to deal with the boundless joy of being managed by a purely profit driven management layer - sounds great.

Seems like there's a market for innovating in the business management sector. Maybe some PE company can buy up all of the back office productivity software and rent it to these suffering small business owners to spare them the bureaucracy.
I was thinking just last night that it feels as if we have easily eclipsed the grand rapacious greed that Wall Street made iconic of the 80's, and yet we're still accelerating in that direction, with very few signs of awareness of the situation from governments (as the only entity reasonably able to reign it in).

If members of governments are profiting, and therefore incredibly unlikely to propose anything resembling a brake, what hope is there beyond "Viva la ...", which is very much an "it'll get much worse before it gets better" kind of resolution.
Palm had the best mobile UI I've ever used. The stuff out of Apple and Android seems like candy with saturated fats by comparison.

Go try to create a ProtonMail account with Tor. It will ask you to confirm your account with a phone number. It skips this if you’re using a non-proxy IP. They want to know who you are, and it’s been this way for years. I think they’ve long been a honeypot.
I think C++ should only be used for maintaining legacy code. I don't think anything new should be made in C++ if it's meant to be used and not just a learning project. C++ is a Rube Goldberg machine. Too many good languages exist to keep inflicting C++ on the world.

What you want is irrelevant; what's important is who wins the White House, and that's looking very, very much like Trump right now. Face it: the non-Trump voters are not at all united, and a large fraction of them genuinely hate Biden.

The last time the Democratic Party tried running a very unpopular candidate, the US elected Trump. Why do you think this won't happen again? It's not just 2016 either: it's a long-standing pattern with the DNC.
